Recovery efforts suspended at collapsed bridge in Baltimore after two bodies found

Recovery efforts have been suspended in Baltimore, Maryland after the bodies of two missing construction workers were found in the water. 

The pair, along with four others, were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge Tuesday when a shipping vessel lost power, and hit a support beam, collapsing the bridge. Investigators say they're moving to a "salvage operation" now, as it's become too difficult for divers to maneuver around debris and concrete from the bridge in the water. The other four people missing are presumed dead. Everyone on the bridge was construction workers doing pothole repairs at the time of the collapse. The ship's black box was retrieved on Wednesday, and the National Transportation Safety Board has learned alarms went off 45 minutes after the ship left the terminal. They say a full investigation could take up to two years.

Moody's Warns Bridge Collapse Is "Credit Negative" For Baltimore As Economic Shock Emerges 

Instead of the woke Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott utilizing his precious time by going on corporate media's leftists Joy Reid's MSNBC show and asserting that white conservatives "should be afraid" of the consequences of calling him the 'DEI Mayor,' perhaps the unseasoned youngster who over-promised about fixing imploding Baltimore City (after fifty years of a Democratic-controlled City Hall) should realize the local economy is on the cusp of meltdown and potential negative credit risk event following the bridge collapse and resulting paralyzed port. 

Baltimore Union Warns Of Job Loss Tsunami After Bridge Collapse Paralyzes Port

A lengthy disruption at the Port of Baltimore, one of the busiest ports on the US East Coast, will unleash supply chain snarls and resulting financial pressures for the local economy of Baltimore, Maryland, as it's only a matter of time before companies with direct and indirect exposure of the port fire workers. 

"I have 2,400 ILA members who are soon going to be without jobs," Scott Cowan, president of the International Longshoremen's Association Baltimore local chapter, said in an interview Wednesday, as quoted by Bloomberg. Cowan said, "Getting them on the payroll, and keeping their families fed, putting food on the table is my first and foremost thought on my mind."

In Historic Reversal, US To Restart A Shut Down Nuclear Power Plant For The First Time Ever

Is the long awaited - and overdue - restart of the American nuclear age finally here?

In a move which may force the lunatic greens to storm the White House, on Wednesday the federal government announced that it would provide a $1.5 billion loan to restart a nuclear power plant in southwestern Michigan. NJ-based Holtec International acquired the 800-megawatt Palisades plant in 2022 with plans to dismantle it, but with support from the state of Michigan and the Biden administration, the emphasis has shifted to restarting the nuclear power plant by late 2025 instead.

The Human Tragedy in Haiti

Since late February, gang violence in Haiti has surged, overwhelming government and security forces and plunging the nation into further turmoil. The United Nations estimates that armed gangs now control 80 percent of the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

The recent wave of violence in the Caribbean nation’s ongoing gang wars erupted as multiple armed groups banded together, pledging to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who came to power after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021 and announced postponing Haiti’s elections again last year. Citing ongoing gang violence as one of the reasons for staving off elections, Henry flew to Kenya in February to press for the deployment of a U.N-backed police force to support the Haitian National Police in fighting the gangs. The armed groups responded by launching a series of coordinated attacks in Port-au-Prince and preventing Henry’s return to Haiti.

Israel needs Gaza ceasefire plan exiling Hamas, Gideon Sa'ar tells 'Post' - interview

The veteran politician, a fierce opponent of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, quit the government earlier this week.

Israel should put forward its own ceasefire plan calling for the exile of Hamas leadership and military wing in exchange for the release of the hostages, United Right Party leader Gideon Sa’ar told The Jerusalem Post as he laid out three mistakes Israel has made in conducting the Gaza war. “We always return to the same ineffective ideas wrapped in bombastic statements that won’t lead to victory. The time has come for new ideas,” he said.

“Small businesses are being crushed by rising costs on all fronts, and the upcoming April 1 carbon tax increase will only add salt to the wound,” said an email statement to The Epoch Times from Jasmin Guenette, vice president of national affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). “Businesses across all sectors are being impacted by the carbon tax, including those in agriculture, natural resources, manufacturing and transportation,” she said.

Are Fears Of A Global Food Crisis A Harbinger Of Things To Come?

There is a rising concern in the world today over food shortages. Even in Europe, which is a well-fed continent, there is increasing unease about future food shortages that could spill over into a global crisis. 

Earlier this month, Bloomberg published an article, “Europe’s New Security Nightmare Is Food Supply.” In it, they describe a growing level of anxiety about securing supplies. This article parallels another article in the Business Standard, which reads: The combined forces of El Niño and La Niña have crippled Latin American soy output. Ukrainian and Russian grain farmers have gone to war. Indonesia has banned shipments of palm oil to Europe, while China is hungry for crops. The Mediterranean region is getting more like a desert. “Food shortage in Europe? The only question is when.”

Scotland’s April Fools’ Day “Hate Crime” bill risks undermining the fundamental principle of innocent until proven guilty

Scotland’s Hate Crime and Public Disorder (Scotland) Act takes full effect on Monday, 1 April 2024 – April Fools’ Day.  Even before the Act even comes into force the police are facing some tough questions.

The police have already drawn criticism for their decision to stop investigating certain crimes, such as theft and criminal damage, but they remain thorough in their pursuit of “hate crimes,” The Telegraph reported yesterday. Now, Conservative Member of the Scottish Parliament (“MSP”) Murdo Fraser is threatening legal action over Police Scotland’s decision to include his name on a database of “non-crime hate incidents” (“NCHIs”) after a trans activist chose to take offence at one of Mr. Fraser’s tweets.

The Most Censored Subjects On Earth: The Trilateral Commission, Technocracy & Transhumanism

While everyone else whines about being censored over trivial news stories, the most important themes are being obliterated.

Why? Because the threat of exposure is too great for the evil agenda of Technocrats and Transhumanists. For over 50 years, Technocrats and the designers of the so-called “Technetronic Era” and the “New International Economic Order” have operated under the cover of anonymity. You can see the big artillery of the Trilateral Commission swoop in to destroy any person or organization who gets too close. In 1977, Professor Antony Sutton was drummed out of the Hoover Institution at Stanford over his investigative work on the Trilateral Commission.

CERN to test world's most powerful particle accelerator during April's  solar eclipse  to search for 'invisible' matter that secretly powers our universe

The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator is set smash protons together on April 8 to search for invisible particles secretly powering our universe.

Theories have suggested there are 17 different particle groups and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, confirmed the existence of one using its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012. Now, the team has restarted LHC after a two-year hibernation with hopes of unraveling more mysterious - specifically dark matter. Scientists began preliminary tests by sending billions of protons around LHC's ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.
